Les Indes Galantes refers to a ballet héroïque, an 18th-century ballet opera by French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau.
This fragrance represents the second stop on a long fragrance journey around the world that began in Japan with the fragrance Cio Cio San, based on Giacomo Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly.
‘Les Indes Galantes’ is an operatic and fragrant love story that takes us on an adventurous journey to exotic places around the world. We visit the Ottoman Empire, the mysterious world of the Incas and conquistadors of Peru, witness love and intrigue in the sands of Persia, and finally visit the New World, where we meet Zima, the beautiful daughter of a Native American chief.
Rich, exciting and exotic notes accompany us on our travels, where the sun-kissed bergamot of the Mediterranean meets the spicy accents of Persian cinnamon and the complex vanilla from America competes with the masculine and characteristic scent of leather. With ‘Les Indes Galantes’, Cécile Zarokian has created an exotic gourmand fragrance inspired by the delicious note of vanilla.
